2 The Lovely Crisis: Boundaries?

I reach out physically, emotionally, experientially to find boundaries. Boundaries let me know I exist. I also am reaching out because I know something else is out there - something greater than myself. I look out to find the soul of existence, the spirit that connects all things in this universe, the energy that transcends science and creates based on probabilities. Or possibilities. After all of my searching, after I find my pain threshold, I cease to reach out and I begin to reach in. 
All answers to the questions you have can be found within
Our internal exploration can result into a shift in how we seek external boundaries. 
When we begin to experience a clarity of the mind and body, brain and behavior, we begin to feel a certain calm or peace. This is soul. This is the presence of what we seek. This is spirit. This is what ties it all together. We traveled such distance only to find that we are already home.

Most people are awed by fire. Afraid of it even. Not me. "Fire? Oh yeah. Me and Fire, we're pretty tight......" I figure people envy the fact that I have this intimate relationship with Fire. Capital F. Not just the familiar, small f. The proper, first name basis, Fire. 
Somehow I have gone from Dumbass to Badass because of increased pain threshold?
What else do 
we have in common. We are both volitale but predictable. Narcissistically all powerful yet amazingly fragile when encounter with any other element at great volumes. Earth Air Water. Only a balance gives life to all.
Perhaps I seek......
At a monastery, a young monk lost the key to the Zendo. It was late and he alerted the other young monks and enlisted them to help. With inly a small lamp hanging near the door to the monastery in the courtyard they scoured every dark corner on their hands and knees, determined to find the key in the darkness. The abbot of the monastery came out and noticed the activity and said to look not in the darkness but in the light where the young monk found the key, directly under the burning lantern.

Staying in relationship during healing another example of moth.
Feeling invincible
Wanting to tame 
Wanting to try
What about being fire?

My fire
